OAK PLANTING IN HONOR OF JOSEPH BEUYS
BAD REICHENHALL, LUITPOLDBRÜCKE
The idea of planting an oak tree in Bad Reichenhall in honor of Joseph Beuys was born in 2021. After an extensive search for a location, the planting was realized in autumn 2024 at the Luitpold Bridge with a view of the Saalach and Predigtstuhl. The city garden master Martin Haberlander and his team were assisted by the pupils of the environmental club at Bad Reichenhall secondary school.
